OUR PROGRAMS

     Counseling for Women

Crisis and single counseling sessions for women. Drop-in or by appointment.  We recommend you call to book an appointment to ensure a counselor is available.   Office hours - Monday through Friday (9am - 4pm).  Evening and weekend counselling also available under special circumstances.  Please call 642-8264 to discuss this option with a counselor.  also see Outreach

Crisis Intervention

Walk in or phone in. We also receive referrals from outside resources. We will assist you in arranging for transportation to shelter, make application for a protection order or emergency cell phone and to develop a protection plan to prevent further abuse. This is a voluntary service provided to assist you in finding out about your options and to help you develop a plan for a future without abuse.

 

Single Counseling

By appointment.  No charge.  Open to all women. The first session includes the completion of an intake form.  From this process, you and the counselor will be able to develop a plan of action specific to your needs. Once you establish the goals you want to work toward, the counselor is then able to provide practical and emotional support to assist you in the process.

 

Outreach

Our service area includes the communities of Inwood/Teulon, Arborg, Fisher Branch, Riverton, Gimli and Winnipeg Beach/ Matlock. Counselors are able to meet you in your community if you are unable to come to the Centre. Please contact the Centre if you require this service and we will make the necessary arrangements to meet with you.

Gift Cards

School Supply Campaign

Getting the kids ready to go back to school can be a very stressful time especially when finances are short.  To address this, we accept new and very gently used school supplies which we make available to moms engaged in programs at the Centre.  This is an ongoing program.

Thank you to all the donors who assisted in sending kids to school with their backpacks filled with all the things they were requested to bring for another exciting year at school.
